If anyone is curious it looks like #QOTO currently gets ~50 new users a week.
@freemo@qoto.org Neat! Picking up a bit huh? Probably from Elon's latest shenanigans.
I get exactly 0 per week myself! 😋
Nah, the internet just heard we suspended Truthsandwich and everyone is happy :)
@freemo@qoto.org Oh you finally got rid of him? Wow. I guess miracles do happen! 😆
I already suspended all his accounts from my server as I have zero desire to see his ramblings.
@trinsec Yea it was just a matter of time. Figured eventually he would cross the line and be a douche bag once asked about it.. and sure enough he started spam reporting and when politely asked to stop he was quite rude and got an instant ban :)
@freemo@qoto.org To me, the drive-by-blocking-and-announcing was already ban-worthy. :P That person's oozing with negativity.
@trinsec Yup, while I was ok to "wait and see" I wouldnt have opposed if any moderator wanted to give him a warning for being hostile. If it continued after a warning then suspend would have been fine as far as I'm concerned. Though I do think I remarked once that we should at least add something to the rules for future clarity.
@freemo@qoto.org Technically it was already harassment. Being hostile in general is harassment imo. Why even bother to be on social media if you can't act social?
@olives@qoto.org @freemo@qoto.org The amount of reports from/about him was ridiculous. I eventually decided it was a Freemo-problem and ignored those. :P
That was what I had you for :)
I mean it usually works well enough, the bad ones eventually cross the line, many turn a bit nicer as they integrate.
I'd rather be a little slower to act and give someone a chance than to act too quick. But then again thats also why I try to keep a variety of people as equals on a mod team, to keep me in check when i am "too neutral"
@freemo@qoto.org @olives@qoto.org Turning tables here: Maybe you shouldn't always be so annoyingly neutral and actually be a bit firmer to keep the positive spirit of the server up. 😋
